-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- To solve a grave priority bug, I've made the perl package (from 5.004.04-3+) pre-depend on perl-base (>=5.004.04-2). This is needed due to the following: Assume you have an earlier version of Perl installed (say from the bo base disks) and you're installing perl (<< 5.004.04-2), perl-base, and something that uses perl in its postinst (such as ld.so). If perl is installed before perl.base gets to run its postinst, there will be a period when Perl will not be available on the system. (/usr/bin/perl is now found only in perl-base.) This is bad.
So, I didn't follow the policy manual and get consensus for a pre-depends in perl. I wanted to get this package out quickly rather than try to wait for consensus on debian-devel. If you'd like the background of where this comes from, look at bug#15573.
